Foreword ALL the material lies before us, ready for the presseall, that is, except the Foreword, which must be written noweat the last moment. And what shall the editorial greeting be? The publi- cation of an Annual has been the pet project of our class, and all for the honor of I910 has been the labor of this year. When we first considered the publication of such a book, we realized little enough of the hard work and responsibility before us. But last fall, with vacancies on the staff to be filled. with the burden of work heavy upon us, there were days of anxiety and discouragement. However, pros- pects brightened. as they have a way of doing at The Western, and work was begun with renewed determination. All through the busy fall and winter we have worked; we have been through many dark mo- ments; but now the days of our anxiety are nearly past, our work is almost done, and as we view with reasonable pride the manuscrlpts before us, is it cause for wonder that a glance into the future shows all bright for our project? Through our efforts the publication of a year book will be an established thing at The Western. and Western girls give of their best to what they undertake. Then when we remember that it is to our loyal little sisters that we resign the editorial labors that have consumed our time. we are yet more assured of the success of the Annual of the future. Ours has been the work of laying the foundation and now we submit to you as the fruit of our en- deavors. this hrs! number of the Western Multifaria. We would say in excuse for errors and mis- takes, only this-that our inexperience and the newness of the enterprise have placed upon us well nigh insuperable limitations, so we would ask you to overlook or pardon our mistakes and give to I912, to whom we have bequeathed next yearis Annual, the same loyal support you have given us.
